Until I, A Fallen Nobleman, Was Called the Great Sage With My Hazure Skill “Super Jack-of-All-Trades

“Good morning, Lars.”

“Yeah …… Good morning, brother ……”

“Were you at Verna-sensei’s yesterday?”

“Yeah. I wanted her to see the results of my magic …… Yawn …… You were playing with Nora, right?”

The next day after my training with Verna-sensei, I was in the living room eating a loaf of bread when my brother called out to me with sleepy eyes.

“I guess I’m just the same as always. Nora seemed to want Lars to be there, though.”

“I certainly can’t interfere with your date, right”

“That would be …… helpful, though.”

My brother replied with a chuckle, and I smiled back. I felt like his expression was gloomy, but was it my imagination?

“Are you going to play with Nora again today?”

“No, we’re not. We’re both going to Verna-sensei’s today. Lars is going to the guild, right?”

“That’s right. It would have been nice yesterday, but we don’t mesh well.”

“Well, Lars is doing a lot of work. …… Maybe I’ll work on the guild, too ……”

“You should study hard and get along with Nora. I have, you know, the [Jack-of-all-Trades], so I have a lot of things I need to learn.”

“Hmmm ……”

Well, I went to Verna-sensei’s place aiming for the time when my brother was going on a date, so there was no way we could mesh. And I’m not lying when I say that I want him to work hard at his studies and me, to improve my [Jack-of-all-Trades] abilities.

I don’t know when it will be, but I want to play with the two of them again when I’m done.

“I’ll be off then!”

“Be careful.”

Mom smiled and waved at me, and I waved back. Then my dad called out to me.

“…… Ah, Lars. You are now ten years old, and you can take on the task of exterminating monsters. Hauzen-san told me that you’re an outstanding talent …… so I’ve decided to allow you. I’ve also heard from Verna-sensei that Lars, Dedite, and Nora are stronger than the other students. But don’t do anything too dangerous, okay?”

“……! Yeah! Thanks, Dad!”

Yay ……! I finally got permission to exterminate monsters! This should make it easier for me to save up, since I’ll be able to get a little more money!

I hurried down the hill. Then I saw Nora coming up the hill to my house. She wasn’t wearing a uniform, but a nostalgic green, shabby dress.

“Good morning Nora!”

“Wawa …… Good morning, Lars-kun! You look so happy. Did something funny happen?”

“Yeah, I can now get a monster exterminating requests at the guild today! I thought I’d immediately go and do it”

“Oh! That’s great. I want to go too!”

Nora bounces up and down looking cute, and says so. However, I smiled at her with my eyes closed and wagged my finger at her before replying to her.

“Nora and brother have to go to Verna-sensei’s place, right? You’re probably the strongest girl in the class already, but while you’re at it, become even stronger. Nora’s cute, and we don’t want you to getting kidnapped or anything.”

“C-Cute ……. But I haven’t played with Lars-kun lately, so I’m a little lonely.”

Nora protests with a sharp tongue, but I think it’s okay since we’re meeting in class during lesson. 

“Well, you should meet brother, since he’s not in our class.”

“Oh, Lars-kun! Be careful!”

I raised one hand to Nora, who waved at me with a smile. My steps were light as I made my way to the guild.

…… But I can’t be too happy about it. Because I also need to gather information in case Ryuuze tells Brao and something happens from there. 

“There’s a lot of work to be done. Ryuuze is the key ……”

I arrive at the guild with a little bit of regret about yesterday.

“Good morning!”

“Good morning, Lars-kun!”

“Oh, good morning!”

“What!? Why are you two here!?”

As soon as I walked in, I felt like I was going to fall down. This was because Makina and Kudelica were right in front of me. For some reason, Makina raised one hand as she bit into some dried meat, while Kudelica sat on a chair. Then a chuckling Gibson-san opened his mouth.

“Well, you’re quite popular, Lars-kun. These two have been waiting since quite early. They were here yesterday too, but we knew you wouldn’t come, so we asked them to leave.”

“I can see why Kudelica’s here, but why is Makina here?”

“Training!”

She, who didn’t really gave me much of an answer, ahhhh, what a problematic kid …… I thought as I hold my head.

“So, are you going to take requests alone?”

And Makina’s face was still smiling, but her body stiffened, and then she turned her head toward me. 

“…… It’s scary alone so no ……”

“You’re supposed to be training ……”

I like the fact that you know your place. Now, it’s time to turn to question Kudelica.

“…… Did you tell Makina?”

“I was waiting at the entrance to see if I could meet Lars-kun if I came to the guild, and Makina-chan talked to me ……”

“So that’s how it is. Hmm, are you going to follow the request?”

“Well, we’re here for that, so yeah.”

“I’m here to help and do miscellaneous tasks, but is that okay to you guys?”

Makina didn’t seem to take it personally, so I decided to give it a try. I think I’ll ask her to return if she has any difficulty with this.

“I’m fine with anything. I’m not an aspiring adventurer like Kudelica, but as teacher said, knighting isn’t my only future, so I’m learning.”

“I see ……”

It’s not like she was just curious. I think, “Well, that’s fine,” but then I say the same thing I always say. 

“Do your parents know about this? I don’t want them to get mad at me for doing something they don’t want.”

“Don’t worry, Gibson-san and my dad know each other!”

“I don’t want to do that because that would get me scolded …… Well, I’ll ask someone to send a message, so I’m sure it’ll be fine. Makina’s father is a brave man.”

“Then, as long as you don’t interfere, it’s okay.”

“All right!”

“Yes!”

Gibson-san gave his approval, and I agreed to do the same. But today…

“…… I was supposed to start taking requests of monster extermination today …… It’s dangerous so –“

“Monster Extermination. That’s great!”

“R, really ……! I, I can have an actual combat ……!”

“No, I won’t take it, okay? You’re both not registered in the guild, so we can’t take on monster extermination.”

When I said that and refused.

“Fufun♪”

“Ehehe”

“Ah!?”

The two of them had guild cards in their hands. I was convinced that this was the reason why Gibson-san had given his permission so easily. I scratched my head and sighed to them.

“…… Sigh, It can’t be helped …… but I’m a little worried if it’s just us ……”

“I’ll go! Haa …… haa …….”

Slam! And the one who came in gasping for air was Mizuki-san. It seems that she is free today, so I decided to accept her request to kill the slime.

“Funfufun♪.”

“Let’s use our skills to the fullest.”

“Oh, Makina’s might be good.”

“…… Lars-kun, how many girls do you have ……?”

We pretended we didn’t hear the last word and headed out of town. As I looked down the street–

“……? Is that Ryuuze?”

I saw Ryuuze moving from shadows to shadows while paying attention to his surroundings. If that’s all, that’s fine, but ……

“……”

“……”

The two sisters, Luciel and Luciela, were chasing him. What are they doing ……? I’m curious what Ryuuze is doing because of what happened yesterday. ……

“Come on, Lars-kun.”

“Ah, yeah ……”

I walked away from the three of them with my hair pulled back because of the request.

I’m curious, but he’s going with the girls to……

Thank you for reading!

[Afterword Theater]

“I’m curious as to what Ryuuze was after.”

Right.

“Well then, I’m also a little curious with the older brother, so I can’t miss it.”
